Index or Chart,

SCRIPTURES 



■FOR-

Y'' HE object of this ludex or Chart is to vSave time and labor in re- 
v_y ferring to the Books and Chapters of the Bible. It is very 
simple, easy to use, and as it is printed mth the rest of the 
book, it can be applied without materially increasing the cost of the 
book and without disfiguring it. An examination of this method will 
demonstrate its great utility in every respect. 

For convenience, the Bible should be paged at the upper and 
outside corners of the pages, for by this method, the desired Book or 
Chapter is found directly by page instead of by the location of the 
several Books as heretofore. 

In the accompanying illustrations is shown the application of this 
Index to the Bible. Figs, i , 2 and 3 show the application of the Marginal 
Index, and Figure 4 shows the application of the Tabulated Index, Al- 
though the books of the Bible may be arranged on the margin in a single 
vertical column : for convenience, I divide them into two vertical col- 
umns. Fig. I, one of which, containing in alphabetical order the books 
of the Old Testament, is placed on the outer margin of the left hand 
of every other page, and the other containing in alphabetical order, 
the books of the New Testament, is placed on the outer margin of the 
right hand of every other page ; or they may be arranged in one hori- 
zontal column as shown in Fig. 3. These Indexes may be printed less 
frequently throughout the book if deemed advisable ; for example, 
only at the beginning of each book of the Bible. Beside each of these 
vertical columns, is a second column indicating the page of the Bible, 
on which begin the books indicated in the first column. These ver- 
tical and horizontal columns are the same throughout the Bible. 
Thus a reference to the margin, wherever the Index is printed, 
shows that the book of Amos begins on page 564 ; the book of I 
Kings on page 231 ; the book of Matthew on page 597; the book of 
Acts on page 683, etc. The other lines, Fig. 2, which are preferably 
printed horizontally, vary with the particular book of the Bible. 
The case illustrated is taken from a page in the book of Matthew, 
and the two horizontal lines which I have shown are printed on every 
page or every other page in that book, if desired so frequently. In 
the first line, are arranged in order the numbers of the chapters, and 
on the second line, immediately below it, are the numbers indicating 
the pages on which begin the chapters indicated in the line above. 
Thus, having found the book of Matthew on page 597, we find that 
chapter 14 begins on page 606. It is obvious therefore that any book 
or chapter, of a Bible indexed as above described, may in like manner be 
very easily and quickly found. Referring to Fig. 4, I arrange the 
names of the books of the Bible alphabetically in a vertical column, and 
opposite the name ofeach book and under the proper chapter number I 
place the figures indicating the page where each chapter begins respect- 
ively. For example, having found by this table that the book of I Chron- 
icles begins on page 275, I look under the chapter 14 column opposite 
I Chronicles, and find chapter 14 begins on page 285, and in like man- 
ner I find any desired book and chapter. 

Where there are more than 50 chapters in a book, I use two or 
three horizontal lines to denote the pages, with the direction to add 
50 to the chapter column for the second line, and 100 to the chapter 
column for the third line. 

This Marginal and Tabulated Index as illustrated, may be ar- 
ranged at the beginning of the Bible or in a convenient number of 
places throughout it. 

The manifest advantage, of this system over the old method must 
be obvious to every one who gives it even a passing consideration.

Chapter XIV. 

At that time Herod the te- 
trarch heard of the fame of 
Jesus; 

2 And said unto his ser- 
vants, This is John the Bap- 
tist: he is risen from the dead; 
and therefore mighty works 
do shew forth themselves in 
him. 

3 For Herod had laid hold 
on John, and bound him, and 
put him in prison for He- 
rodias' sake, his brother Phil- 
ip's wife. 

4 For John said unto him, 
It is not lawful for thee to 
have her. 

5 And when he would 
have put him to death, he 
feared the multitude, because 
they counted him as a prophet. 

6 But when Herod's birth- 
day was kept, the daughter 
of Herodias danced before 
them, and pleased Herod. 

7 Whereupon he promised 
with an oath to give her what- 
soever she would ask. 

8 And she, being before 
instructed of her mother, 
said, Give me here John 
Baptist's head in a charger. 

9 And the king was sorry: 
nevertheless, for the oath's 
sake, and them which sat 
with him at meat, he com- 
manded it to -be given her. 

10 And he sent, and be- 
headed John in the prison. 



11 And his head was 
brought in a charger, and 
given to the damsel ; and she 
brought it to her mother. 

1 2 And his disciples came 
and took up the body, and 
buried it, and went and told 
Jesus. 

13 When Jesus heard of 
it, he departed thence by ship 
into a desert place apart: and 
when the people had heard 
thereof, they followed him 
on foot out of the cities. 

14 And Jesus went forth, 
and saw a great multitude, 
and was moved with compas- 
sion toward them, and he 
healed their sick. 

15 And when it was even- 
ing, his disciples came to him, 
saying. This is a desert place, 
and the time is now past; 
send the multitude away, that 
they may go into the villages, 
and buy themselves victuals. 

16 But Jesus said unto 
them. They need not depart; 
give ye them to eat. 

1 7 And they say unto him, 
We have here but five loaves 
and two fishes. 

18 He said. Bring them 
hither to me. 

19 And he commanded 
the multitude to sit down on 
the grass; and took the five 
loaves and the two fishes, and 
looking up to heaven, he 
blessed, and brake; and gave 
the loaves to his disciples.

and the disciples to the mul- 
titude. 

20 And they did all eat, 
and were filled : and they 
took up of the fragments that 
remained twelve baskets full. 

21 And they that had eat- 
en were about five thousand 
men, besides women and 
children. 

22 And straightway Jesus 
constrained his disciples to 
get into a ship, and to go be- 
fore him unto the other side, 
while he sent the multitudes 
away. 

23 And when he had sent 
the multitudes away, he went 
up into a mountain apart to 
pray: and when the evening 
was come, he was there alone. 

24 But the ship was now 
in the midst of the sea, toss- 
ed with waves: for the wind 
was contrary. 

25 And in the fourth watch 
of the night Jesus went unto 
them, walking on the sea. 

26 And when the disciples 
saw him walking on the sea, 
they were troubled, saying, 
It is a spirit; and they cried 
out for fear. 

27 But straightway Jesus 
spake unto them, saying, Be 
of good cheer; it is I; be not 
afraid. 

28 And Peter answered 
him and said. Lord, if it be 
thou, bid me come unto thee 
on the water. 



29 And he said, come. 
And when Peter was come 
down out of the ship, he 
walked on the water, to go 
to Jesus. 

30 But when he saw the 
wind boisterous, he was a- 
fraid; and beginning to sink, 
he cried, saying, Lord save 
me. 

3 1 And immediately Jesus 
stretched forth his hand, and 
caught him, and said unto 
him, O thou of httle faith, 
wherefore didst thou doubt? 

32 And when they were 
come into the ship, the wind 
ceased. 

-i^z Then they that were in 
the ship came and worshiped 
him, saying. Of a truth thou 
art the Son of God. 

34 And when they were 
gone over, they came into 
the land of Gennesaret. 

35 And when the men of 
that place had knowledge of 
him, they sent out into all 
that country round about, and 
brought unto him all that 
were diseased. 

T^() And besought him that 
they might only touch the 
hem of his garment: and as 
many as touched were made 
perfectly whole.
